Thomas Rawls didn't switch teams, but his current squad, Seattle, made it pretty clear that they don't think he's the early-down solution this season when they signed ex-Packer Eddie Lacy to a one-year deal.

After a strong rookie campaign where he rushed for over 100 yards in four of the six games in which he saw double-digit carries, Rawls took a nosedive in 2016, averaging 2.4 fewer yards per carry than in 2015 (5.6 versus 3.2). His Rushing NEP per rush went from 0.08 to -0.13, and his Success Rate -- again, this is the percentage of positive expected points rushes made by a back -- of 26.61% in 2016 was the absolute worst among all backs with 100-plus touches.

Rawls could hypothetically sustain some value if he was a talented pass-catcher, but that hasn't been the case. During his rookie campaign, his per-target efficiency was directly at the league average among running backs, according to our numbers, and in 2016, it was far below it. Rawls also caught a grand total of 11 passes in college.

But don't forget: the Seahawks have converted college wide receiver C.J. Prosise coming back from injury this year. He'll more than likely see a lot of the receiving work in the offense.

Essentially, Rawls profiles as an early-down back, but the Seahawks just signed an early-down back in Lacy. Even if Rawls somehow gets early-down work, there's no chance he's getting the same per-game workload we've seen from him at times over the last two years.
